A Life worth Following (2021) Part one

A Life worth Following (2021) Part one

 

In this message pastor Tim looks at 1 Cor 11:1 where Paul says “Follow me as I follow the example of Christ.” What does this mean for us in our day?

A life worth following

1 Cor 11:1 Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ

1 Cor 11:1 (NLT:)  And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ

A good way to frame this verse is by asking two key questions.

  • One, is my life a compelling witness to Christ that others would want to follow?
  • Two, is my pursuit of comfort hindering my growth in becoming more like Jesus?

A good way to understand this verse could be: “Continually be in the process of i______________ me as I imitate Christ.”

 

What are the things that people are seeing in me that are not Jesus? ___________________________________

Do I lack character, zeal, passion, endurance?

 

What is Jesus inviting me to do differently to live a life worth following? ______________________________

For some, it’s just saying yes.
